Summary
Equations for the changes in genotype frequencies in two- and three-locus incompatibility systems are given. Assuming equal allele numbers at all loci, and equal frequencies of all the gamete types, as would be expected in the equilibrium state, the equilibrium ratios of genotypes heterozygous at different numbers of loci are obtained. Some genetic and evolutionary implications of these results are discussed.
